How do we report people who are watering the grass literally during the middle of the day? Because there's some people who refuse to cooperate with the restrictions listed on the San Angelo Water Utilities website, and to quote from that website: "Watering is prohibited between the hours of noon and 6 p.m. during these months" and they reference 1 April to 31 October. It also goes on to say that runoff going more than 150 feet down a gutter or ditch is also prohibited, and that's taking place too. So the name of the individuals who are doing this? The CITY OF SAN ANGELO. On Rio Concho Drive, to be very specific, right across the street from the Convention Center. I see this all the time, definitely more than the "twice a week" and there is always runoff flowing down the street and into the drains. Y'all going to give yourself a ticket? I'd like to know how you have restrictions on taxpayers in this city and yet somehow y'all feel it's ok to violate those same restrictions - is this because you see yourself above the law? Maybe y'all need to be fired. Over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit out there and y'all are watering like we're sitting on the edge of an endless supply of H2O. How much is just evaporating and doing absolutely zero for the grass? Probably a big chunk of it. Maybe y'all should consider watering at night or something. Like the rest of us are supposed to.

The Parks division submitted a new landscape form for the Convention Center project to the Water Customer Service office. This form, which is also available to citizens, allows approved applicants to water at designated times to help establish new sod. The form, intended for new sod or grass installation, can be found here: Water Conservation Form. Parks staff have been recently working at the Convention Center to adjust sprinkler heads and minimize runoff. If you have questions about the Convention Center landscape project, please contact the Parks Division at 325-659-8563. They can provide more details about the project and the steps being taken.
